The Yokohama show will celebrate its 25th anniversary next year and, since 1992, the So-Cal location in Santa Fe Springs has had a Xmas car show.

Several years ago the California event outgrew its location so they moved it to the raceway and added 1/8-mile dragstrip racing for pre-’69 vehicles to the program.

In addition to the 100-plus drag cars, there are 1,400 or so car show entrants that roll through the gate for the one-day Saturday show.

The day’s activities also included a pin-up girl competition, a large vendor area, and several bands playing throughout the day.

But just as several other dragstrips located around Southern California have done, Irwindale Raceway is slated to close in 2016, and Mooneyes isn’t sure if they will be able to hold the event there or move it, possibly to Fontana or Pomona Raceways.

Time will tell, but there definitely will be thousands of hot rodders that will follow them to wherever they decide to have their Christmas show.
